Pins in the wild

They all play really good keep your eye out for the Pinball DMD screens around the pub displaying train times etc. Think the owner is a member on here.
Excellent, thanks, looking forward to going back tomorrow
 
Found some low "high" scores in the wild tonight when I surprised myself getting on the leader board for Godzilla Pro at NQ64 in Bristol. Still I'll take it as my first time getting on the board

Anyone heading to Dubai… these little beauties are in the new Goose Island Bar in the Five Hotel at Dubai Marina.

They looked and played like brand new machines… all pro’s - I guess that makes sense for Dubai :)

10AED per play, payable with credit card. Very generous replays, and low high scores.

Insider not hooked up.

I spent the day in Hastings today and found these 3 in one of the arcades.

It was the first time I actually spent quite a bit of time playing James Bond and I really enjoyed it.
In regards to the other 2, Slimer was unfortunately broken and I think both could do with a clean 🤔

Found not one, not two, not three but four pins in the Alps in February!
2,200m in La Plagne - standing and playing pinball in ski boots isnt fun

I'm blaming high altitude for my poor scores

Had some time to kill on Newcastle tonight so stopped in at NQ64. First time playing Tron and Ghostbusters. I could sort of make out the play fields despite them seemingly washing the glass with dirty mop water.

Those LED strips up the back end of the playfield takes me right back to around 2012 when everyone was fitting them as mods before the like of pinstadium and better LED's. Gonna be honest the purple on the Ghost Busters is particularly bad!

Are they actual purple LEDs or UV LEDs? I fitted some UV LEDs to my Metallica, wired them up to various flashers and had Sparky custom painted with UV paint turned out really well.

Looks like a reflection from the ceiling lights
 
Gillys amusements in Scarborough, upstairs where pool tables are etc
4 pins in total ( elvis is out of pic) , didn’t play Elvis, it looked a bit tired.
Mando, Star Wars, Beatles all played well, although Beatles could do with new flipper rubbers. All £1 play, but Star Wars is set at 3 games for £2

Looks like they’re on free play but it’s £50 / hour to hire the room. My credit burn rate is pretty bad but think I’d still struggle to get good value from that!

That's right opposite where my office was in Newcastle. In the pic on their website looking out you can see the back door of my office. Shame we moved out of there 3 years ago. And shame its 50 an hour.
